Fine Trouble (Merlin)

[Jayden Philips]

Keleth found himself in the lower city of Camelot, which seemed to be out of character for Keleth. His sister was feeling really ill recently and though the druids would have her better in no time, all she wanted was something from camelot anything to give her hope that Camelot could be her home in the future. Their father wouldn't allow it due to the fact at how dangerous it was in town if the guards had caught them in camelot. During the night Keleth had wondered out of the cave and into the forest that was just outside of Camelot. All he wanted for his sister to be happy and so he decided to leave to Camelot.

As much as he hated the fact he was going to be enter camelot he was only doing it for his sister. The forest was clear of thoughts and for once his journey through the forest was pleasent and calm. Keleth wore a black robe which covered his normal clothes. Twenty minutes later he was in the lower city with out any trouble though he thought too soon as he was spotted. "Stop!" A guard shouted out. Keleth rolled his eyes and grunted as he began to run through the town in the dark shadows. He found himself hidding in an alley way that seemed to get passed easily.

Keleth's heart was racing at full speed and all he could think was not to get caught for his family safety. He could hear more guards caughting word that there was someone in the city. As he took this moment in time to leave the alley way to go further into the city, he wasn't going to leave with out something for his sister. But as he turned into the street four guards were sprinting his way and now they had seen him. His heart was now pumping faster then anything. He began think of so many thoughts he couldn't even understand half of them. The adrenaline was pumping so fast that he sent out a a message for help but he wasn't expecting it to be sent to anyone. The message was loud and clear to one person. Merlin!

Merlin had been back in his room at Gaius' place for a while now. It was late at night, but he couldn't sleep, so he lied in his bed with his arms crossed behind his head, staring up at the ceiling. He had a lot going on through his mind right now, but none of those would matter much as the warning bells rung. He slowly sat up in bed, blinking a few times as he listened. What was happening now? It seemed that Camelot sounded the warning bells frequently. But, usually only when they had cause. Had someone perhaps escaped the dungeons again?

He managed to push aside his curiosity and force himself to lay back down in bed, shutting his eyes shut tight. Whatever it was, it didn't concern him, he told himself. Every time he acted during these things, he usually only made situations worse. But again, this wouldn't matter much as another warning came. Not warning bells, and not exactly a 'warning'. More of a... 'plea' for help. He shot up in bed once more. Someone needed help, and obviously someone with magic! He had to do something now! He couldn't just let someone with magic be caught by the guards! Uther didn't care about anyone's intentions when they had magic, all he cared about was the fact that they had magic, and that immediately made them evil. Who was to say that this person was evil?

He climbed out of bed, now. He was still fully dressed in his usual clothes, so he didn't waste any time with that. Quietly he slipped out of his room, noticing, thankfully, that Gaius was still asleep. A quick mumbled spell would insure that it would stay that way for the time being, and he instantly left and went into the city. From the call of help in his mind, he got the general direction of where the person would be, and headed that way, avoiding the guards by hiding whenever he could. He rounded a corner in the Lower City and noticed a person in a black robe, with four guards coming his, their, way.

Acting quickly, Merlin glanced around and noticed that one of the guards was holding a torch. Of course, it was dark, and with all the noise they were making, stealth wouldn't matter. Well, the torch would prove a good enough distraction for now. Mumbling a few careful words, a second later the torch would "fall" out of the guards hand and down in front of him, quickly spreading just enough to prevent passage through, but not harm anyone, or any homes. "Quickly, this way!" he whispered loudly enough for the person to hear.

Assuming that he would listen and follow him, he would proceed to lead him away from the guards -- praying that they didn't recognize him -- and lead him to an empty house a little ways away...

[ I was just assuming that if the guard's were acting so serious about someone in the city, that the warning bells would go up. If you would prefer otherwise, tell me and I'll edit my post! Also, sorry that it's kind of long! xD ]

It wasn't long till Keleth could hear the warning bells going off through Camelot. It seemed he was judge way to quickly, but Keleth indeed ran away from the guards which was a straight reason to ring those stupid loud bells. The guards got closer and closer, and Keleth couldn't do much or he would end up causing more trouble. Reviling that he has some type of magic would only make the matter worse, injuring any of the guards would cause more trouble. Either way he was in a lose lose situation. Sighing as he slowed stepped backwards he notice the torch in one of the guards hands had somehow dropped down to the ground, causing a small line of fire to begin to form. This was a distraction as he heard from behind a young skinny man shouted in a whisper to follow him.

With out question he ran to the left of him and into the dark shadows of the night following a young skinny man who looked like a peasant or some type of servant. As both of them went passed a few crates of stuff Keleth turned his neck and mumbled a few words and the crates fell straight into the middle of the way incase the guards had caught the site of them running.
A few moments later Keleth found himself looking at an empty house which would seem to be a perfect escape from this trouble. "Thanks a lot. Name is Keleth. If you wouldn't have came I don't know what I would have done. Though I have no idea why the guard was so rash to ring those warning bells when all he saw was me. Anyway thanks again!" Keleth spoke as they both walked into the house and shut the door. Keleth was breathing hard from running all over the lower town. All this for just a simple item in camelot for his sister to give her a little hope for peace for the druids.
